Opening a new thread with zero books, sometimes for hours should not be allowed.

Can I just say here how much I dislike sales threads that are:
First post is a list of books with prices (sometimes with grades, sometimes not)
Next few posts are piles of scans (3-4 at a time, or worstcase ALL scans at once in one massive post).

1) the buyers can't easily quote a listing that captures both the book price and the book scan.

2) I hate having to scroll back and forth between scans and prices. "Oh that's a cool book, how much? *Scroll* ok *scroll back down* next book..."
3) These sellers invariably dont update the scans list with whats still available, just the initial list, so more scrolling back and forth... 

Is it that hard to post a book with a price and a scan? One per post so it's easy and clean for quoting and updating? 
Honestly some books I don't know I want until I see a scan just cause I like what I see... but all the scrolling back and forth, over and over, *sigh*

If you're gonna post a list and prices first please also post the price with each scan so I don't have to scroll constantly.

Fist time I've seen someone try and sell a book in someone else's sales thread.

It's not allowed. People need to report these threads when they see them

No.  He posted 1 book to conform to the rules.  Still not acceptable in my book.

I see that now and yes I agree. I reported it. You, and others, should too

How is that any different than someone who only offers one book for sale?  The fact that they are advertising that they're going to sell more later in the day?  On top of that what about the people who say, well if these sell, I'll list more.  There's not one way to run a sales threat, and when you offer a book for sale, you're conforming to the rules.  It can be one or more than one and unless there's a rule that says otherwise, I think it's perfectly acceptable.

Now they just open a thread with one over graded, over priced book, then post a pic of stuff they might sell. fishing

Has anyone ever bought a book with a name written on it, and either knew, or found the person?

Lamont and some family members showed up at a CGC dinner at SDCC one year where I was present.  I remember that Jon Berk showed up at the end of the dinner to have a chat with Lamont.  Mark Haspel had a coverless Larson book signed as well.
